Robine is Dutch in Origin.

Robine is a feminine given name formed from Robin, the medieval pet form of Robert. Robert derives from the Old High German elements hrod “fame, renown” and beraht/berht “bright,” so Robine carries the sense of “bright fame.” The final -e reflects a Romance feminine ending and has long been used in Francophone records; the name also appears in Dutch name data as a modern, distinctly feminine variant.

In medieval England and France, Robin was common for men and occasionally women; by the 19th–20th centuries, feminine offshoots such as Robina (Scotland) and Robine emerged alongside the unisex English Robin/Robyn. Today Robine remains rare in the English-speaking world but is recognized in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Related and variant forms include Robin, Robyn, Robina, Roberta, and diminutives such as Robbie or Bobbie; all share the “bright fame” etymology.
